Hezekiel 27

¹Ve Rab'bin sözü bana gelip şöyle dedi:

²"Ve sen, insanoğlu, Sor üzerine bir ağıt başlat

³ve denizin girişinde oturan, birçok adalardan gelen halkların ticaret merkezi olan Sor'a de ki: Rab Sor'a şöyle diyor: Sen, 'Ben kendime güzelliğimi kuşattım' dedin.

⁴Denizin bağrında, Beeleim'de oğulların sana güzellik çevrelediler.

⁵Senin için Sanir'den sedir ağacı inşa edildi, sana köknardan direkler yapmak için Lübnan'dan selvi kalas şeritleri alındı.

⁶Küreklerini Başan'dan yaptılar, senin tapınaklarını fildişinden yaptılar, Hetiim adalarından gelen gölgelikli ahşap evlerden yaptılar.

⁷Mısır'dan gelen nakışlı ince keten, sana görkem giydirmek için yatak örtün oldu; Elişay adalarından gelen mavi ve mor kumaşlar senin örtün oldu.

⁸Ve Sidon'da oturan önderlerin ile Aradoslular senin kürekçilerin oldu; senin içindeki bilgelerin, ey Sor, onlar senin dümencilerindi.

⁹Kitapların ihtiyarları ve onların bilgeleri senin içindeydi, senin tasarılarını güçlendiriyorlardı; denizin bütün gemileri ve onların kürekçileri en uzak batıya kadar senin için ticaret yaptılar.

¹⁰Persler, Lidyalılar ve Libyalılar senin ordundaydı; senin savaşçıların olarak kalkan ve miğferlerini sende astılar, senin görkemini onlar verdiler.

¹¹Aradosluların oğulları ve ordun surlarının üzerindeydi, kulelerinde bekçiler vardı; sadaklarını senin limanlarına çepeçevre astılar, senin güzelliğini onlar tamamladılar.

¹²Kartacalılar, her türlü gücünün bolluğundan ötürü senin tüccarlarındı; senin pazarına gümüş, altın, demir, kalay ve kurşun verdiler.

¹³Yunanistan, bütün dünya ve komşu olanlar, bunlar insan canları karşılığında seninle ticaret yaptılar ve senin ticaretine tunç kaplar verdiler.

¹⁴Tergama evinden atlar ve atlılar senin pazarına mal verdiler.

¹⁵Rodosluların oğulları senin tüccarlarındı; adalardan ticaretini çoğalttılar, fildişi dişler getirdiler ve içeri girenlere ücretlerini geri ödüyordun.

¹⁶Senin karışık kalabalığının bolluğundan ötürü seninle ticaret yapan insanlar, Tarsis'ten damla mür ve nakışlı işler getirdiler; Ramot ve Horhor da senin pazarına mal verdiler.

¹⁷Yahuda ve İsrail oğulları, bunlar senin tüccarlarındı; buğday, merhemler ve tarçın satışında, senin karışık pazarına en iyi balı, yağı ve reçineyi verdiler.

¹⁸Şam, her türlü gücünün bolluğundan ötürü senin tüccarındı; Helbon'dan şarap, Miletos'tan yün getirdiler ve senin pazarına şarap verdiler.

¹⁹Asel'den işlenmiş demir ve çark senin karışık pazarındaydı.

²⁰Dedan, savaş arabaları için seçkin binek hayvanlarıyla senin tüccarındı.

²¹Arabistan ve Kedar'ın bütün önderleri, bunlar senin elin aracılığıyla senin tüccarlarındı; seninle ticaret yaptıkları develeri, kuzuları ve koçları getirdiler.

²²Sabba ve Ragma tüccarları, bunlar en kaliteli baharatlar, değerli taşlar ve altınla senin pazarına mal veren tüccarlarındı.

²³Harran ve Hanna senin tüccarlarındı; Asur ve Harman senin tüccarlarındı;

²⁴ticaret için mavi-mor kumaşlar, iplerle bağlanmış seçkin hazineler ve selvi ağacından yapılmış şeyler getirdiler.

²⁵Gemiler, içlerindeki Kartacalı tüccarlarla senin karışık pazarının bolluğundaydı; denizin bağrında doldun ve çok ağırlaştın.

²⁶Kürekçilerin seni büyük sulara götürdü; güney rüzgarı seni denizin bağrında parçaladı.

²⁷Güçlerin, kazancın, karışık pazarındakiler, kürekçilerin, dümencilerin, danışmanların, senin karışık pazarından olan karışık adamların, sendeki bütün savaşçıların ve senin ortandaki bütün topluluğun, düştüğün günde denizin bağrına düşecekler.

²⁸Senin feryadının sesinden dümencilerin korkuyla dehşete düşecekler.

²⁹Ve bütün kürekçiler, yolcular ve denizin dümencileri gemilerinden inecek, karada duracaklar.

³⁰Ve senin için sesleriyle feryat edecekler, acı acı ağlayacaklar, başlarına toprak serpecekler ve altlarına kül serecekler.

³²Ve onların oğulları senin için bir ağıt yakacak ve senin için yas tutacaklar:

³³Denizden ne kadar büyük bir kazanç buldun? Bolluğunla ulusları doyurdun ve karışık pazarınla yeryüzünün bütün krallarını zengin ettin.

³⁴Şimdi denizde, suyun derinliklerinde parçalandın; senin karışık pazarın ve senin ortandaki bütün topluluğun düştü, bütün kürekçilerin de.

³⁵Adalarda oturanların hepsi senin için kederlendi, kralları dehşetle dehşete düştü ve yüzleri gözyaşı döktü.

³⁶Ulusların tüccarları senin için ıslık çaldı; bir yıkım oldun ve sonsuza dek bir daha var olmayacaksın.

¹ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·

²καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λαβὲ ἐπὶ Σὸρ θρῆνον

³καὶ ἐρεῖς τῇ Σὸρ τῇ κατοικούσῃ ἐπὶ τῆς εἰσόδου τῆς θαλάσσης, τῷ ἐμπορίῳ τῶν λαῶν ἀπὸ νήσων πολλῶν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος τῇ Σόρ· σὺ εἶπας· ἐγὼ περιέθηκα ἐμαυτῇ κάλλος μου.

⁴ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης τῷ Βεελεὶμ υἱοί σου περιέθηκάν σοι κάλλος.

⁵κέδρος ἐκ Σανεὶρ ᾠκοδομήθη σοι, ταινίαι σανίδων κυπαρίσσου ἐκ τοῦ Λιβάνου ἐλήφθησαν τοῦ ποιῆσαί σοι ἱστοὺς ἐλατίνους·

⁶ἐκ τῆς Βασανίτιδος ἐποίησαν τὰς κώπας σου, τὰ ἱερά σου ἐποίησαν ἐξ ἐλέφαντος, οἴκους ἀλσώδεις ἀπὸ νήσων τῶν Χετιείμ.

⁷βύσσος μετὰ ποικιλίας ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἐγένετό σοι στρωμνὴ τοῦ περιθεῖναί σοι δόξαν καὶ περιβαλεῖν σε ὑάκινθον καὶ πορφύραν ἐκ τῶν νήσων ᾿Ελεισαὶ καὶ ἐγένετο περιβόλαιά σου.

⁸καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντές σου οἱ κατοικοῦντες Σιδῶνα καὶ ᾿Αράδιοι ἐγένοντο κωπηλάται σου· οἱ σοφοί σου, Σόρ, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν σοί, οὗτοι κυβερνῆταί σου.

⁹οἱ πρεσβύτεροι βιβλίων καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ αὐτῶν ἦσαν ἐν σοί, οὗτοι ἐνίσχυον τὴν βουλήν σου· καὶ πάντα τὰ πλοῖα τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ οἱ κωπηλάται αὐτῶν ἐγένοντό σοι ἐπὶ δυσμὰς δυσμῶν.

¹⁰Πέρσαι καὶ Λυδοὶ καὶ Λίβυες ἦσαν ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου, ἄνδρες πολεμισταί σου πέλτας καὶ περικεφαλαίας ἐκρέμασαν ἐν σοί, οὗτοι ἔδωκαν τὴν δόξαν σου.

¹¹υἱοὶ ᾿Αραδίων καὶ ἡ δύναμίς σου ἐπὶ τῶν τειχέων σου φύλακες ἐν τοῖς πύργοις σου ἦσαν, τὰς φαρέτρας αὐτῶν ἐκρέμασαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὅρμων σου κύκλῳ· οὗτοι ἐτελείωσάν σου τὸ κάλλος.

¹²Καρχηδόνιοι ἔμποροί σου ἀπὸ πλήθους πάσης ἰσχύος σου, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σίδηρον καὶ κασσίτερον καὶ μόλιβον ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀγοράν σου.

¹³ἡ ῾Ελλὰς καὶ ἡ σύμπασα καὶ τὰ παρατείνοντα, οὗτοι ἐνεπορεύοντό σοι ἐν ψυχαῖς ἀνθρώπων καὶ σκεύη χαλκᾶ ἔδωκαν τὴν ἐμπορίαν σου.

¹⁴ἐξ οἴκου Θεργαμὰ ἵππους καὶ ἱππεῖς ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀγοράν σου.

¹⁵υἱοὶ Ῥοδίων ἔμποροί σου ἀπὸ νήσων ἐπλήθυναν τὴν ἐμπορίαν σου ὀδόντας ἐλεφαντίνους, καὶ τοῖς εἰσαγομένοις ἀντεδίδους τοὺς μισθούς σου,

¹⁶ἀνθρώπους ἐμπορίαν σου ἀπὸ πλήθους τοῦ συμμείκτου σου, στακτὴν καὶ ποικίλματα ἐκ Θαρσίς, καὶ Ῥαμὸθ καὶ Χορχὸρ ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀγοράν σου.

¹⁷᾿Ιούδας καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου ἐν πράσει σίτου καὶ μύρων καὶ κασίας, καὶ πρῶτον μέλι καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ ῥητίνην ἔδωκαν εἰς τὸν σύμμεικτόν σου.

¹⁸Δαμασκὸς ἔμπορός σου ἐκ πλήθους πάσης δυνάμεώς σου· οἶνος ἐκ Χελβὼν καὶ ἔρια ἐκ Μιλήτου, καὶ οἶνον εἰς τὴν ἀγοράν σου ἔδωκαν.

¹⁹ἐξ ᾿Ασὴλ σίδηρος εἰργασμένος καὶ τροχὸς ἐν τῷ συμμείκτῳ σού ἐστι.

²⁰Δαιδὰν ἔμποροί σου μετὰ κτηνῶν ἐκλεκτῶν εἰς ἅρματα.

²¹ἠ ᾿Αραβία καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Κηδάρ, οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου διά χειρός σου, καμήλους καὶ ἀμνοὺς καὶ κριοὺς ἐν οἷς ἐμπορεύονταί σε.

²²ἔμποροι Σαββὰ καὶ Ῥαγμά, οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου μετὰ πρώτων ἡδυσμάτων καὶ λίθων χρηστῶν καὶ χρυσὸν ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀγοράν σου.

²³Χαρρὰν καὶ Χαννά, οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου· ᾿Ασσοὺρ καὶ Χαρμὰν ἔμποροί σου

²⁴φέροντες ἐμπορίαν ὑάκινθον καὶ θησαυροὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς δεδεμένους σχοινίοις καὶ κυπαρύσσινα.

²⁵πλοῖα, ἐν αὐτοῖς Καρχηδόνιοι ἔμποροί σου ἐν τῷ πλήθει, ἐν τῷ συμμείκτῳ σου, καὶ ἐνεπλήσθης καὶ ἐβαρύνθης σφόδρα ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης.

²⁶ἐν ὕδατι πολλῷ ἦγόν σε οἱ κωπηλάται σου· τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ νότου συνέτριψέ σε ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης.

²⁷ἦσαν δυνάμεις σου καὶ ὁ μισθός σου καὶ τῶν συμμείκτων σου καὶ οἱ κωπηλάται σου καὶ οἱ κυβερνῆταί σου καὶ οἱ σύμβουλοί σου καὶ οἱ σύμμεικτοί σου ἐκ τῶν συμμείκτων σου καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταί σου οἱ ἐν σοὶ καὶ πᾶσα συναγωγή σου ἐν μέσῳ σου, πεσοῦνται ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς πτώσεώς σου.

²⁸πρὸς τὴν κραυγὴν τῆς φωνῆς σου οἱ κυβερνῆταί σου φόβῳ φοβηθήσονται,

²⁹καὶ καταβήσονται ἀπὸ τῶν πλοίων πάντες οἱ κωπηλάται καὶ οἱ ἐπιβάται καὶ οἱ πρωρεῖς τῆς θαλάσσης ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν στήσονται

³⁰καὶ ἀλαλάξουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ τῇ φωνῇ αὐτῶν καὶ κεκράξονται πικρὸν καὶ ἐπιθήσουσι γῆν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν καὶ σποδὸν ὑποστρώσονται.

³²καὶ λήψονται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ σὲ θρῆνον καὶ θρήνημά σοι·

³³πόσον τινὰ εὗρες μισθὸν ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης; ἐνέπλησας ἔθνη ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους σου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ συμμείκτου σου ἐπλούτησας πάντας βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς.

³⁴νῦν συνετρίβης ἐν θαλάσσῃ, ἐν βάθει ὕδατος· ὁ σύμμεικτός σου καὶ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή σου ἐν μέσῳ σου

³⁵ἔπεσον, πάντες οἱ κωπηλάται σου. πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὰς νήσους ἐστύγνασαν ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν ἐκστάσει ἐξέστησαν, καὶ ἐδάκρυσε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν.

³⁶ἔμποροι ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν ἐσύρισάν σε, ἀπώλεια ἐγένου, καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

¹And the word of the Lord came to me saying,

²And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation against Sor;

³and thou shalt say to Sor that dwells at the entrance of the sea, to the mart of the nations coming from many islands, Thus saith the Lord to Sor; Thou hast said, I have clothed myself with my beauty.

⁴In the heart of the sea thy sons have put beauty upon thee for Beelim.

⁵Cedar in Senir was employed for thee in building: boards of cypress timber were taken out of Libanus, and wood to make thee masts of fir.

⁶They made thine oars [of wood] out of the land of Basan; thy sacred utensils they made of ivory, thy shady houses of wood from the isles of Chetiim.

⁷Fine linen with embroidery from Egypt supplied the couch, to put honour upon thee, and to clothe thee with blue and purple from the isles of Elisai; and they became thy coverings.

⁸And thy princes were the dwellers in Sidon, and the Aradians were thy rowers: thy wise men, O Sor, who were in thee, these were thy pilots.

⁹The elders of the Biblians, and their wise men, who were in thee, these helped thy counsel: and all the ships of the sea and their rowers traded for thee to the utmost west.

¹⁰Persians and Lydians and Libyans were in thine army: thy warriors hung in thee shields and helmets; these gave [thee] thy glory.

¹¹The sons of the Aradians and thine army were upon the walls; there were guards in thy towers: they hung their quivers on thy battlements round about; these completed thy beauty.

¹²The Carthaginians were thy merchants because of the abundance of all thy strength; they furnished thy market with silver, and gold, and iron, and tin, and lead.

¹³Greece, both the whole [world], and the adjacent coasts, these traded with thee in the persons of men, and they gave [as] thy merchandise vessels of brass.

¹⁴Out of the house of Thogarma horses and horsemen furnished the market.

¹⁵The sons of the Rhodians were thy merchants; from the islands they multiplied thy merchandise, [even] elephants’ teeth: and to them that came in thou didst return thy prices,

¹⁶[even] men [as] thy merchandise, from the multitude of thy trading [population], myrrh and embroidered works from Tharsis: Ramoth also and Chorchor furnished thy market.

¹⁷Juda and the children of Israel, these were thy merchants; in the sale of corn and ointments and cassia: and they gave the best honey, and oil, and resin, to thy trading [population].

¹⁸[The people of] Damascus were thy merchants by reason of the abundance of all thy power; wine out of Chelbon, and wool from Miletus; and they brought wine into thy market.

¹⁹Out of Asel [came] wrought iron, and there is the sound of wheels among thy trading [population].

²⁰[The people of] Daedan were thy merchants, with choice cattle for chariots.

²¹Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, these were thy traders with thee, [bringing] camels, and lambs, and rams, in which they trade with thee.

²²The merchants of Sabba and Ramma, these were thy merchants, with choice spices, and precious stones: and they brought gold to thy market.

²³Charra, and Chanaa, these were thy merchants: Assur, and Charman, were thy merchants:

²⁴bringing [for] merchandise blue, and choice stores bound with cords, and cypress wood.

²⁵Ships were thy merchants, in abundance, with thy trading [population]: and thou wast filled and very heavily loaded in the heart of the sea.

²⁶Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the south wind has broken thee in the heart of the sea.

²⁷Thy forces, and thy gain, and that of thy traders, and thy rowers, and thy pilots, and thy counselors, and they that traffic with thee, and all thy warriors that are in thee: and all thy company in the midst of thee shall perish in the heart of the sea, in the day of thy fall.

²⁸At the cry of thy voice thy pilots shall be greatly terrified.

²⁹And all the rowers and the mariners shall come down from the ships, and the pilots of the sea shall stand on the land.

³⁰And they shall wail over thee with their voice, and cry bitterly, and put earth on their heads, and spread ashes under them.

⁰31

³²And their sons shall take up a [lament] for thee, even a lamentation for Sor, [saying],

³³How large a reward hast thou gained from the sea? thou hast filled nations out of thine abundance; and out of thy mixed merchandise thou hast enriched all the kings of the earth.

³⁴Now art thou broken in the sea, thy traders are in the deep water, and all thy company in the midst of thee: all thy rowers have fallen.

³⁵All the dwellers in the islands have mourned over thee, and their kings have been utterly amazed, and their countenance has wept.

³⁶Merchants from the nations have hissed at thee; thou art utterly destroyed, and shalt not be any more for ever.
